Life

Luise Staudinger was born as the daughter of grammar school professor Franz Staudinger and his wife, the women's rights activist Auguste Staudinger , née Wenck (1852-1944). She was baptized Protestant. Luise had three brothers. One of the brothers was the chemist and Nobel Prize winner Hermann Staudinger . The other was State Secretary in the Prussian Ministry of Commerce, Hans Staudinger . Her father was a leading theoretician of the cooperative movement and was acquainted with August Bebel and Eduard Bernstein . With the latter, he had a lifelong friendship.

Since 1899 her father was a senior teacher at the Ludwig-Georgs-Gymnasium . The family therefore moved to Darmstadt in 1901. Luise joined Ludwig Habich's sculpture class that year and was one of the first women in Germany to work in the field of plastic art. In 1906 her teacher Habich changed to Stuttgart and Luise went to Paris to study. In Paris she attended the Académie Colarossi .

From 1908 she lived in Berlin-Grunewald and set up a teaching studio for modeling courses. There she married the publisher and art dealer Robert Federn (1878–1967) in 1909. The marriage resulted in the future university professor Klaus Federn in 1910 and the daughter Else in 1912. After separating from her husband, Luise and her two children moved back to Darmstadt in 1917 to live with their parents at Liebigstrasse 25.

Luise Staudinger's work includes v. a. Plaques (e.g. grave of Luise Büchner, Hermann Haupt plaque 1930), busts and small sculptures. Some can be found in the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt . In the 1920s, she maintained a room in the trade museum in Darmstadt. In 1960 she closed her studio at Liebigstraße 25 in Darmstadt and left the Darmstadt City Museum with numerous designs for portrait plaques of Darmstadt personalities, which are now in the Darmstadt City Archives.

She was a member of GEDOK .
